umat: Rotation matrix UDU' decomposition

Description

`umat` creates the equivalent of a U matrix from the eigen decomposition of a relationship matrix of dimensions equal to the number of records equivalent to Lee and Van der Werf (2016).

Usage

umat(formula, relmat, data, addmat)

Value

$S3

A list with 3 elements:

1) The U' matrix of dimensions n x n (eigen vectors), n being the number of records.

2) The original U matrix of dimensions m x m (eigen vectors), m being the number of coefficients or levels in relmat.

3) The D matrix of dimensions m x m (eigen values), m being the number of coefficients or levels in relmat.

Arguments

formula

a formula expressing the factor to decompose.

relmat

an optional matrix of features explaining the levels of x. If not provided is assumed that the entire incidence matrix has been provided in x. But if provided, the decomposition occurs in the matrix M.

data

a dataset to be used for modeling.

addmat

additional matrices.

Examples

  
data(DT_cpdata)
DT <- DT_cpdata
GT <- GT_cpdata
## create the variance-covariance matrix
A <- A.mat(GT) # additive relationship matrix
A <- A + diag(1e-4, ncol(A), ncol(A))
## look at the data and fit the model
head(DT)
xx <- umat(~id, relmat = list(id=A), data=DT)
